Democrats were 100% correct, Republicans fucked up bigly. From the article:

"Democrats tried to stop the legislation, House Bill 316, calling it an expensive switch to a new voting method that will be just as vulnerable to hacking and computer errors as the state's current 17-year-old direct-recording electronic voting machines. They want paper ballots bubbled in by pen, saying they would create a voting record that's less susceptible to meddling."
